He is a loser
Fuk himComment -

Bingo. One play can end your season and sometimes your career. That's why as a player you try and get a long term deal and guaranteed money.Originally posted by kingdomComment -
Hawks prob not much of a chance of beating rams w/o him
looks lije rams 5-0
just building the pot pot for when they do loseComment -
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a player flip off his own sideline beforeComment -
Guy never heard of karma I guessComment -
Looked like it was intentionally for Pete CarrollOriginally posted by stealthyburritoComment -
Pete isn’t the one withholding a long term guaranteed money contract from him, is he?Originally posted by jm8122
Im not too familiar with this story, other than he signed very late in the offseason as a holdoutComment -
Big loss, moving on.Comment -
These guys are so fkn greedy him and Bell get what they deserveComment -
He held out for a new deal, didn't get one and reported. He is playing on his last contract year.Originally posted by stealthyburritoComment -
His leg is not broken as badly as his character.Comment -
Carroll seems like a scumbagComment -
Greedy? WTF are you talking about? These guys put their fukking lives on the line every Sunday and you think they're greedy trying to earn what they're worth? Have you seen ex players years after they play? Guys are committing suicide because of CTE. Most guys can't even walk right. They spend 4 to 5 years in the NFL then spend the rest of their lives with debilitating injuries.Originally posted by Rich Boy
Do you think the owners are greedy, making BILLIONS of dollars off the backs of these athletes?
Thomas reported and look what it got him. An injury in his last year. Why do you think Bell is holding out? Do you even know football? You obviously never played nor ever looked at a fukking NFL contract.Comment -
Fkin hilarious. Think the locker room is broken (a little)?Originally posted by ans61201Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Why would anyone side with the owners instead of the players? It's the slave mentality indoctrinated from very young.
Yes you signed a contract but your value goes either up or down. If your value goes down, you get cut and you're sh!t out of luck. If your value goes up, you ask for more money. Most NFL contracts aren't like NBA or MLB.
Bottom line, ALWAYS side with the players. The billionaire owners are the enemy.
Personally, I think Le'Veon Bell is smart for not playing this year.Comment -

Ya really, ugly side of sports, Bell's probably happy he's not playing right now with no deal.Comment -
Someone has a gun to their heads?? Do something else for a living.Originally posted by Mac4Lyfe
By the way, Bell was offered 70 million and balked at it to do this instead, so yeah.....He's greedy.Comment -
Kinda saying people shouldn't demand more money if they're good at what they do? Do you see hospitals low-balling great brain surgeons and just settling for Dr. Nick? gtfoComment -
Who was low balling? He's not getting 17 million a year in free agency.Originally posted by keely85Comment -
Like I said earlier, NFL contracts are different. If it were 70 mil guaranteed, I'm pretty sure he would've taken the deal.Originally posted by Bluehorseshoe
This is from an article I've read... "One other reason Bell might have turned the deal down is because it apparently wasn't loaded with any substantial guarantees."Comment -

What kind of guarantee is the owner getting?Comment -
He's just going to pull a greg jenningsComment -
Are you kidding me? EVERY NFL owner has seen their investments skyrocket over 1000%. They have gambling money about to come in into the hundreds of millions and the tax payers pay for their buildings. What guarantee does the owners get? You have to be kidding me? Have you drunk the fukking koolaid?Originally posted by grease lightnin
Why don't you do something else for a living? No one has a gun to your head.Originally posted by Bluehorseshoe
You are absolutely nuts if you think Pitt offered him 70 million. You have no clue about NFL contracts.Comment -
owning an nfl franchise is a guaranteed license to print money. i'd say that's a pretty damn good guarantee.Originally posted by grease lightninComment -
These guys are paid tens of millions to play a sport and act like they are victimsOriginally posted by Mac4LyfeComment -
Pete Carroll didn't even come to out to check in him like any coach would, and after the contract situation, he had enough.
Cowboys will make him Rich next yearComment -

It is an investment decision. And any wise investor doesn’t make their decision based on the past. But on the future.
Bottom line is, if they pay a guy 70 mil guaranteed who can have his knee blown next week... it is charity. Plain and simple.Comment -
Every athlete's agent is trying to get the most they can for their client that's their job, also the agent will take home more its a no brainer. As a player you should be "greedy". I don't consider it greedy at all though. NFL is worst league for athletes since much less guaranteed money deals. Every year we see good players getting cut or waived because the teams don't have to keep paying a player. Careers are short, when you retire at say 35, if youre lucky to have played that long, you have the rest of your life with no income coming in other than a pension who wants to have to work after they've been a pro athleteComment -
